The menace of jungle justice has continued to abate in Nigeria despite
warnings by the leadership of the Nigeria Police Force to curb the
anomaly.
The accused, John Ator
A young man, John Ator 25 was on Wednesday narrowly escaped being
roasted by angry mob at Marian Market, Calabar, Cross River State
capital.
The suspect was alleged to have stolen two basins of garri at the Market in the early hours of Wednesday.
An eyewitness told Daily Post that the suspect who had been into the
crime was unlucky this time as he was caught in the act when the
traders decided to lay ambush for him.
One of the market managers who pleaded anonymity said reports of garri
theft had reached them several times, but they could not fathom who the
thief was. He said ninety-nine days is for the thief, and one day is
for the owner.
“That is the case with this young man, John Ator, who is now caught
as a garri thief who has been a thorn in the flesh of garri women
traders at Marian Market, Calabar as he was caught stealing two basins
of garri at the said market early hours of Wednesday,” he stated.
Explaining further, he said, “this act of stealing garri which has
become a regular occurrence at the Marian market without knowing those
behind the crime got to its peak when traders decided to lay ambush for
the thief. Fortunately for the traders and unfortunately for the
thief, luck ran out of him (Ator) and he was caught in the early
hours."
